Personally, that group doesn't interest me. I don't recognize their right to dictate vocabulary.
So consequently, when I use swearwords, they are obviously NOT meant to shock anybody. They are meant to relieve some tension, or sometimes for emphasis. This actually seems to work most of the time.

By the way, "politically correct" is an obscene concept in *my* eyes, and somehow I get the feeling I'm not alone in this.

Huh?! If that's meant as "don't use those words", it's inconsistent with itself.
